The report for the year 1904 is, on the whole, most satisfactory.
Compared with recent years we have had very little
infectious disease, and the sanitary condition of the Borough
has been steadilx improving. The neighbourhood has many
advantages as regards situation and soil, and very few districts
around London can show a better health record than
Bromley.
Appended is the report of your Sanitary Inspector, showing
in detail the sanitary work executed during the year.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
ARTHUR F. G. CODD,
Medical Officer of Health.
